Just wondering who's coming to Day Of The VolksWagen?
I was thinking, maaaaaybe we should figure something out so as we know how to spot all the forum people, or list what we're going to wear. How about we all print out the word "forum" on a small piece of paper and safety pin it to our shirts?
Anyway, just thinking out loud.
Also is anyone coming from inter-state and where are you from if you're planning to?
Oh and it's my Mum's birthday that day, so if you see her make sure you say g'day :birthday
laterz!

P.S. I know the cruise is VW only (the night before day of), but would anyway mind a non-vw-pace car following? :o
Jay_1965vw ·
Cam I'm sure no-one would mind if you tagged along in a non-vw!
Jay
amazer ·
No one will mind if you jump at the back of the queue. You could always hitch a ride with someone if you'd like the VW atmosphere.

See my idea of personalised number plates for Bel (jenz58) no a bad idea after all 😀
Hmmm, the way our weather is here in Melbourne, who knows what I'll be wearing:o🙁
We need tee shirts like the mouseketeers (your all too young?) An aussieveedubbers logo and our names/handles. Well it's a thought, maybe next year?
Catch you all then
KruizinKombi ·
I remember the Mouseketeers, although vaguely. I do remember the Mouse Factory on TV after schools quite well though. Go the Mickey Mouse ears!!:thumb
jenz58 ·
p.s. I don't mind a non-vw coming along, and I'm sure no one else would mind (?) Hey maybe we can convert them!🙂

I'm an Astro boy boy myself.
Happy Birthday to you. You don't know me and I don't know you with makes it even more special don't you think.
The Dog_o_Wars a bit tired so you can count me out. Plus the wallets sick of copping a hiding too. I'll fill out the forms and pass them on to the minister of finance and leisure but Bronze household congress won't pass the bill on VW excitement for a couple of months I think.

Cam ·
coolies!!! Amazer, are you coming down? Are you bringin the fasty? :-D :bounce
Adam, about time you came to see us again 😉 Give us a call sometime soon dude, I don't have your new home number.
Jay, How's Wolf going? Is he going to be ready?
Jen, I'll make sure to fit some spare badges I've got to the car before we leave, won't fool anyone but could be a laugh 😀
Everyone else, thanks 😀 Maybe a little "forum" tag of some sort will be the way to go?
The_Bronze. ·
Hey Cam check out above. Posted at the exact same time.
Anyhow, I printed out a heap of Forum tags at the All VW Forum in Penrith a few months ago. A little time consuming but well worth it I think. I met some great people and put faces to some names.
You just have to leave them some place for people to pick up otherwise you'll be chasing faces you don't know. They were just simply orange / red labels with a computer aussieveedubbers logo on it. The didn't stick well cause they were ment for paper not flannel and cashmir.

KruizinKombi ·
I'll be there, make sure you say hi if you see me. 😀
Grey 57 ·

vw54 ·
I will be there as well will have my ORANGE VW hat on.
Say HI if u bump into me OK:bounce

I'll be there in my white late model square. I might put my tag on the back window in white vinyl letters. Would love to meet people from this group.
Cam, i could pick that trim up off you on Day of..?
Cam ·
cheers empi,
If you need two cars taken to day of, Dad will drive another.
Sounds good, 242. Just give my mobile a call on the day.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the rest of you guys, not a prob.
Dave, are you coming on the cruise?
vw54 ·
Dunno we have a street directory isnt the cruise on the other side of Melb ??
Let me have some Mobile numbers and will advise
we r staying at Club Laverton close to venue, so we can get there Early
vw54 ·
I just checked my Melway book for DROMANA
Yes thats a confirmed NO to attend the cruise.... to DROMANA
its not at the end of the Earth, but you can see it from there,:thumb

Cam ·
LOL, fair enough...
It's not actually that bad with the freeways and good cruising company 🙂
I'd have to say if you're visiting Melbourne and into VW's in anyway shape or form, get yourself to a cruise, theres nothing like them.
just my humble opinion tho 😉
If you change your mind or want to hook up over the weekend, give me a call on 0421 320 816.

We're organising a mini cruise from the boat leaving to go to Dromana at 6.30 pm volma1
jenz58 ·
Hey anyone who can't make it to the 4.30 cruise to Dromana Drive-In but is still going to Dromana are more than welcome to join the mini cruise leaving from Station Pier at 6.30 ish, once the Taswegian's are off the ferry🙂
I'm going to park at the end of the pier where people go fishing. Carpark will probably be full due to new cafe's and Rex's F & C shop, especially if weather is nice.
Hey let me know if you want to join us. I'll be at the pier at 6pm in Bel the blue beetle, easily identified🙂

Dave aka Orange guy...Are you trying to say that you are driving all the way from Sin dey to go to the DOVW and you can't make it to the Drive inn???? There are VW Cruisers who live on that side of town and they will show you the way. It is only about 45 minutes driving on the freeway to get to Brandon Park for the start. You will have a ball if you make the effort. The movie may also be worth seeing!!!!
vw54 ·
Yeah i know we will have a ball its just we had some other things planned... we wont discount it But.
I have a melway book so getting round wont b a prob. just trying to fit it all in.
Stealth ·
Come on Dave, you can do it. My number is 0414 344 331. Ring us when you get here and also if you need a hand with anything. There are plenty of people who can lead you from that side of town.
See you soon.
Remember we only drink CUB products here, not that Tooheys crap!😉
vw54 ·
Didnt i every tell u that theres only 4 good things that come outta Victoria.
1. the Hume Highway
2. the Melb to Sydney train line
3. Qantas Flights to Sydney
4. CUB products
Mate i dont drink that Tooheys crap anyway, didnt i send u a pic of my FRIDGE full of Crowniees
amazer ·
I'll be at Day Of. Not real sure about the cruise though. I dont think so. I'll be in my orange kombi. If I get time I might even give it a quick hose. Maybe not cos I've already done it twice this year. I'd do it more often only it really annoys the spiders.
jenz58 ·
Hey come on guys do the cruise!!🙂
Join the sleep deprived on the DO!!! It'll be fun!!:bounce
amazer ·
yeah it'll be fun. But sadly... I'm not in charge of itinery planning.
I have learnt from last year though. Im bringing 2 suitcases this time! One with thermals the other with my swimmers.
Melbourne: One of the few places on earth where you get hailed on and sunburnt in one day.
Will never forget the couple who looked like they just stepped out of a wedding party and sloshed around in knee deep mud last year.
jenz58 ·
Yeh, the weather was pretty miserable for the DO last year. You're right Melbournes weather is far from predictable. As the song goes 'Four Seasons in One Day' 🙂
Lets hope for good weather this year!!:thumb
4WDDubnut ·
Don't worry about hosing the car, we are in the middle of a drought and have water restictions in place....I needed an excuse not to wash the car...Last year I was in Margaret River W.A. and it was freezing there as well. It wll be OK this year, I can feel it in me bones.
BenettonVW ·
I'll be there on both counts.. Even if those soft-ons from NSW aren't.. 😉
That is if my car is going... 🙁
vw54 ·
SOFT-ONS from NSW ????😘puke:repuke
jenz58 ·
Hey I love Sydney:kiss
I was there a couple of months ago but had a hire car🙁
Was staying out near Windsor, so many nice VW's out there.🙂
I missed being in Bel so much couldn't get the VW community wave thing happening🙁
Guess if you've just done the Sydney to Melbourne drive the last thing you want to do is drive some more?
Hey looking forward to seeing everyone at the DO:bounce
